1.4 unzip issue

Hey John,
Hope this is an ok place to post this, couldnt find a more appropriate place.
When unzipping on my XP pc, the process chokes on the TLK.app within the frameworks folder. Although this doesnt affect me currently and I'm sure it will unzip well on the mac (havent tried yet), it stopped the unzipping process about 1/3 the way thru on the PC with a 'system cannot find file specified' error. I suspect a filename character limit as those files are pretty deep within the package and I can dig them out manually by burrowing into the package and grabbing each folder individually.
I use UltimateZip 3.0, overriding the native zip stuff of XP.
Just wanted to give you a heads up in case this issue comes up in other places for other users. You may want to separate the mac and pc downloads... just a suggestion.
Once again, you have outdone yourself with this upgrade. Your work on this is amazing!

do you have a place to report issues with the new release, ie your own bugtracker?

We have internal bug tracking, but for bug reports it's easier to track them through this forum. What problems are you running into?-John

On the third (dynamic firelight) mission the sound for the crossbow explosion happens on mouse release rather than on the projectile explosion.that's all ive run into so far.

That sounds like it could be TGE 1.4 related (TLK shouldn't affect the sound). You might want to double check it with a pure TGE 1.4 exe, and if it's a TGE bug report it in the TGE bugs forum - I know GG is working on a follow up TGE release, it would be cool to get this resolved in that release if possible.

I did run into that before, Windows (or maybe just the winapi) has a character limit on paths, so if you unzip into an already long path the combination of the TLK.app and the root path can max out that limit. Unzipping into a shorter path like 'c:\TLK\' should work.
